7th August 2018 | York

Manager’s Welcome

Writing this I still cannot believe we are still experiencing this glorious sunshine! I would say long may it continue but I am certain that will but a dampener on things… please excuse the pun.

What has been great was seeing the gym challenge (Road to Russia) be completed by so many members. The target was met and I'm sure our Fitness Supervisor Hannah will have another challenge in mind to start very soon (watch this space).

Roko has also just partnered with a local restaurant called Gusto which has kindly offered some great discounts for our members. Please see the newsletter in September which will have all of the details about the restaurant but for now, to enjoy up to 40% off your meals, please use this link: http://gustorestaurants.uk.com/york-corporate/

Upon making the booking, if all members can note Roko gym in the notes section that would be perfect to allow the restaurant to allocate the discount.

I hope you have a wonderful August

Gary Jepson and your Roko team.

Club News and Events 

The Charity Event which Roko held on Saturday 7th July between 8am-1pm was a huge success and we thank everyone who donated and bought cakes/raffle tickets. 
The young girls raised £273 on the day and this will go towards their grand total so far to make £16,273!! 

One of our young swimmers made the decision she would like to raise money for cancer research this year after sadly losing one of her school friend last year to this horrible disease. Molly-Rose Warren is 7 years old and has come up with all the fund raising ideas herself. Molly-Rose and her friends also did a sponsored swim relay on the 7th where they will swim a mile between them in less than 20 minutes!!  Well done to all the children who took part in the swim and we wish you all the best for the rest of the year! 

Children’s News

The summer holidays are here and we want to help you keep the children occupied during this time and help you keep some structure in their time off school.  Roko York is offering lots of swim intensive courses to get your children more confident and stronger in the water.  Whether it is for a holiday you have booked this summer or for a head start with their swimming lessons, we highly recommend these courses.  One week intensive swim course is the equivalent to half a 10 week term in only 5 days!!  During the 5 days your child will have the consistency of the same teacher and the class will be at the same time each day!  What are you waiting for………

Course 1: Monday 6th August – Friday 10th August with Jo Archer

Course 2: Monday 13th August – Friday 17th August with Jane Power

Course 3: Monday 20th August – 24th August with Mel Reid

Course Price: £35 Members / £45 Non-Members

Stage 1: 9am
Stage 2: 9:30am
Stage 2 Advanced: 10am
Stage 3: 10:30am (Main Pool)

There are still spaces available on all 3 courses!  When signing up you must commit to the whole week – NO refunds, exchanges or discounts will be given for any missed sessions!

For children who are in Stage 6+ or have finished the swim stages altogether, we are running a Swim AWARDS course.  Not only is this course a great way to increase their stamina and for them to achieve a higher badge, but it will give your child some structure in the summer holidays and give them a chance to meet other children.  The week intensive course does not guarantee they will achieve the badge but there will be a test on the last day to give them the opportunity to obtain their Bronze or Silver award. 

The course will run: Monday 13th August –Friday 17th August with Jo A

Time: 9:00am-9:40am Bronze & 9:40am – 10:20am Silver

Price: £40 Roko members & £50 for non-members

If you would like further information about any of the courses, please contact jarcher@york.roko.co.uk
